The Big Picture Thread 2024-1

[Agent0013]

I actually have the bundle in my wishlist. It will be a while before I can make any more purchases though. The Christmas Punch system cleaned out my available funds for such things. Even so, I did pretty good with the way I used it; getting many of my wishlist items for free.


Everything they offered in the punches were from my wishlist. And the items I bought were for no more than $2.10, most were for a good bit less. At the same time during the month, I got the Weekly Freebies as the became available, and I got one coupon that allowed me to get a nice bundle I wanted for just a few pennies. I'd say that was a pretty awesome DAZ Christmas.

So far, the only images posted here, besides my starter one, are all Simon's. And all of them look really great. [Thanks Simon for that.]
I think we need some other members working to compete in this thread. I don't wish it to be just one or 2 sided for any month. So mayhaps I will do a notification message to send to all members, to try and drum up more participants!


Remember that all images or animations posted in any month in this thread are eligible to be picked as the monthly prize winner! What is the prize? You get to choose your prize from our Sponsors Showcase. There's plenty of items to choose from, that you can then use in future artistic endeavors. Who knows, maybe something you take as a prize and use in an image or animation will help you win yet another prize! So let's see more of you posting in this thread.


Don't forget that there are two other threads that award prizes as well! Here is the one moderated by Llola Lane:
"Llola Lane's Render a Month" thread, in which she has a theme for each month that you are allowed to submit up to 2 images for:
https://www.pfdlives.com/pfd/index.php?topic=8693.0


This one is a new thread each month, that is moderated by me. I make a new thread for this one each month, unless something happens to keep me from doing so. No worries though, because Llola usually steps up to the plate in my stead if I cannot do it myself on time. Usually, I am on time though. Each thread in this series is for a particular month, and while a challenge is given for a specific image theme, that theme is not all you can post there, you may post any image you wish to show to us, so long as it is within the guidelines of the thread and our forum. The only images that will be considered for the prize though will be adhering to the challenge theme, but normally I make that theme as wide in reach as possible. The current one is The January Show Off Thread = Portraits:
https://www.pfdlives.com/pfd/index.php?topic=8695.0


In conclusion I say join in the fun, post your images, comment of the images or animations posted by other members, ask questions about art, chat with any of us you want! I promise, we don't bite! (Well maybe just a little nibble...)

Ruhh roooh... I thought I saw something in his helmet reflection when I zoomed in!  Hope it's not curtains for him!

[Llola Lane]

ok.. the wait is over... Agent this is for you! 

I've wanted to enlarge this artwork from the first that I created it but thought it would render too long... but to my surprise it took less than 12 minutes!  Go figure?  lol. 

Anyway... I only plan on adding artwork to this thread if I think it merits a closer look at detail.  I feel this artwork qualifies... Feel free to zoom in... take a look around.  Hope everyone visiting this thread will enjoy!
